To Preserve and Protect: The Strategic Stewardship of Cultural Resources
2002. To Preserve and Protect: The Strategic Stewardship of Cultural Resources. Washington, D.C.
This volume of essays from the symposium "To Preserve and Protect: The Strategic Stewardship of Cultural Resources," held at the Library of Congress October 30-31, 2000, records an important event that complemented an array of celebratory and intellectually engaging activities held during the Library's bicentennial year. In affiliation with the Association of Research Libraries and the Federal Library and Information Center Committee, the Library turned to recognized scholars, experts, and professionals to examine some of the pressing issues facing libraries as they enter the twenty-first century. We convened outstanding thinkers from all over the world for our Symposia on "Frontiers of the Mind," "Informing the Congress and Nation," "Democracy and the Rule of Law in a Changing World Order," "Poetry and the American People," and the "National Libraries of the World." These dialogues set the stage for the bicentennial symposium on preserving and protecting our cultural heritage assets.
